Over the last year a number of Republican members of Congress have returned to their districts and been screamed at during town hall meetings over health care reform, tax cuts, the various Russia investigations and any number of other hot-button issues.

Many of these attendees seem to believe the louder the profanity-laced tirade, the more their congressman and the press would understand that they mean business.

After all, nothing seduces a congressman quite like treating them as if they were a United Airlines gate agent on a delayed flight.

The media largely billed these spectacles as proof that President Trump’s voters have turned on him, and would result in the GOP getting blown out of the congressional majority and eventually the White House.

An organic green tea party, if you will.

Jesse Ferguson, a former Clinton aide now working with Democrats to oppose Obamacare repeal, is pushing this narrative, telling CNN, ”All different kinds of people in all parts of the country are spurred into action out of fear of what Trump’s government will do to them, their family, their friends and the future of their country. … For many of them, repealing health care is the tip of the spear and first of those fears.”

And poof! The “basket of deplorables” magically turns into a “basket of adorables” over the course of one rowdy meeting.

Not even a Pentecostal can redeem someone that fast!

There’s only one problem with Ferguson’s logic. His definition of “all different kinds of people” is very different from the actual definition of all different kinds of people.

Sure, there was diversity in those crowds; white college graduates who hate Trump and didn’t vote or him, white high school graduates who hate Trump and didn’t vote for him, black college graduates who hate Trump and didn’t vote for him, black high school graduates who hate Trump and didn’t vote for him and so on and so on.

There was one group of people who weren’t at these meetings in any significant way — people who voted for Trump.

During the peak of these town hall confrontations in July, Reuters/Ipsos published a poll that said most Trump voters haven’t moved in their support of the president, with 88 percent of those surveyed saying they’d cast their ballots for the Republican candidate again if America were to go back in time to Election Day. In May, an ABC/Washington Post poll found that 85 percent of Clinton supporters said they’d still vote for the former secretary of state.

What does this mean? The people who voted for him still like him, and the people who didn’t vote for him still hate him.

Regardless of how loud people may get at these meetings, there has not been a fundamental shift in the American political landscape.

Having said that, Ferguson may be half right — there could very well be electoral consequences as a result of the anger we are seeing at these meetings, but those waves won’t be felt in the general election, they’ll come in the primaries.

Incumbent Democrats who don’t sufficiently bash and oppose Trump at every turn could face serious primary challenges from candidates who pledge to take a more adversarial tone to Washington.

This is exactly what is happening to U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who is now being “primaried” by hard-left California Senate leader Kevin de León, D-Los Angeles, for being insufficiently belligerent to President Trump.

In California, Democrats are in no danger of losing the seat. But if this attitude shifts to red state Democrats facing re-election in places like West Virginia, Montana and Missouri, they’ll likely lose those seats to Republicans.

But on the bright side, incensed liberals will have more Republican members of Congress to be rude to.
